A view from the same spot, more or less, as Image - the Oceanarium building is the one just visible on the left edge of the picture. Ahead of us is the Hot Rocks café, while large amounts of water are falling from the canopy roof. The torrential rain had persisted all morning but would ease after lunchtime, when this picture was taken. I was so wet that I had to go home and change before returning to work - even my wallet and my underwear were soaked!
